Massage Therapy

Chiropractic massage is an excellent method for improving overall health and musculoskeletal efficiency. Massage has a number of beneficial effects on the body and the mind. Some of these include removal of toxins that can build up in the muscles of the body, increased circulation, and increased flexibility in not only the muscles, but also the connective tissue within the body.

Massage also can help with muscle spasms as well as soft tissue injuries. Increasing the movement and reducing the overall recovery time by helping the body in the healing process. In addition, consistent massage has been known to increase balance.

Chiropractic Massage has proven to assist in the healing of a large number of conditions including back pain, surgery recovery, eating and sleep disorders as well as high blood pressure and diabetes among others.

Massage Services Offered:

Deep Tissue Massage:Deep tissue massage involves manipulation of the soft-tissue for balancing the body's central nervous system with the musculoskeletal system. By focusing on the deeper muscles and connective tissues of the body, movement and pressure is used to alleviate spasms and cramping. Trigger points are tender areas where muscles have been damaged by reoccurring spasms or "kink" that refers pain to surrounding areas. The goal is to reduce the spasm and increase blood flow into the area. Then the soft tissue begins to reshape and realign - breaking old habitual holding patterns and returning them to a state of balance.

Swedish Massage:Swedish massage is a timeless style of massage that uses long flowing strokes to encourage relaxation, lymphatic drainage and detoxification. One of the major benefits of Swedish massage therapy is true relaxation. A great Swedish massage can loosen up tensed back muscles and an aching neck and shoulders, as well as ease the body’s other unwanted responses to stress, and also helps to clear your mind of worry.

Chair Massage:Chair massage is performed at your office, fully clothed, and seated in a comfortable massage chair. This makes for ideal shorter sessions of 5-20 minutes. Shoulder and neck issues, which seem to be universal, are easily addressed, helping to relieve carpal tunnel symptoms and tension headaches. Chair massage is available for employee wellness events, trade shows and employee and/or customer appreciation events.

Cancellation Policy:

Essential Bodyworks appreciates that you chose our facility for your massage and bodywork session. It is our intention to provide top notch, personal care. In order to ensure this, the 30, 60, or 90 minute session that you reserved is time set aside for only you. We’d like to communicate some guidelines and policies in order to provide you with an optimum session.

Please arrive at least 10 minutes ahead of your scheduled reservation. This allows time to fill out the short, but required, health history form and talk to the therapist about any health issues or concerns, or your specific body needs that particular day. Giving yourself a little bit of extra time also allows your body and mind to start transitioning from active-busy-mode, into a more relaxing, receiving mode, thereby enhancing your massage experience. From the business and therapists’ side, it gives us the full time to actually have our hands on you, keeps our business on schedule, and respects the next client’s reserved therapy time.

If you cancel without sufficient notice, you will incur a fee of 50% of the full value of your massage. If you do not call and do not show up for your reservation, you will incur a fee of the full value of your massage. These fees must be paid in full before further reservations can be made. Gift certificates and coupons are voided by failing to show for your scheduled time or cancel with sufficient notice.

We generally can work with a 5-10 minute delay if you are running late, but please be advised you will still be charged for the full session, and it will still end at the same time it would have had you arrived on time. If you are more than 10 minutes late, your massage may need to be rescheduled altogether, in which case the cancellation policy will apply. Of course we understand that life is complicated. Cancellation/late fees may be waived in the event of reasonable unexpected life events or illnesses. Please call; we want to work with you. This policy is only in place to encourage common courtesy.
